[Plugin: WP phpBB Bridge] Existing User in WP and phpBB Synchronisation

    Hello,
    I’m very happy, that I found some days ago your plugin because of the update to wordpress 3.1 the bridge I used never worked.
    So I installed this plugin yesterday, did all settings and was very happy, that everything seems to be fine. I can login/logout with my existing account on phpbb3 and on wp, enter the board and blog config and so on.

    But if another member logs in, (equal if he logs in on forum or on blog) in the forum he will see his correct account and on wordpress he always gets a new user instead of his existing one, with the same loginname and password.
    For example: Correct Username: Accarin
    new username: accarin1

    If now another member logs in (for example Kashin), he also gets the new user accarin1.

    I’m very confused about it and couldn’t find any errors in database or plugin settings. So I don’t know what this failure could be.
    Because… thats for me the great miracle – if I log in, everything works fine.

    Blog: https://www.amarthan.de – Version 3.1 DE
    Forum: https://www.amarthan.de/forum – Version 3.0.8

    It would be fine, if anyone could help me with this strange problem.
    Thanks,

    Greetings Cattie

    The problem comes from your wordpress database. The login process is the following :

    User is trying to login into phpBB.
    If the user exists in phpBB then the plugin is trying to find it in WordPress database.
    If the user doesn’t exists in wordpress database then automaticly a new user is created with Subscriber access level.
    If the username already exists then the phpBB user is re-created automaticly in WordPress database with a new username in the form of username[Number]

    What I sugest is to create a backup of your database, then delete all your users from wordpress table exept the administrator account. Then each user will be created automaticly from the plugin as they login into phpBB. After user logged in you can change the access level as usual.
